Travelled to British Columbia and visited Whistler and Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort. Marc, Cat and Kate’s team created a fantastic trip for us and went above and beyond to make our trip exceptional. The planning with them was fantastic. We had originally planned on visiting the Lake Louise area but Marc detected a lack of enthusiasm and asked the question we’ve never been asked… “What would be your perfect trip?” We gave him our answer and he suggested Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort. We looked it up and were convinced.
His company booked the trip and the destinations for us and arranged some great experiences. With that said, on a late Friday afternoon we decided we needed a little something more adventurous and the team got us booked on a Glacier Cave hike/visit when they should have already gone home for the weekend. Can’t say enough about this team.
Now, the trip was incredible. Whistler was fantastic in the summer. Rode the Gondolas, went peak to peak, walked the suspension bridge at the top, hiked and took in the scenic view. Food in town was great. Highly recommend Araxi and Il Caminetto. Took the previously mentioned glacier cave trip. The helicopter trip was fantastic as was the cave adventure. All arranged through Marc’s team.
Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort was an out-of-this-world experience—floating sauna docks, floating hot tub docks, land-based hot tubs nestled next to a waterfall, water safaris, deep woods hiking, whales, otters, orcas, dolphins, bears and 5 star restaurant. One dinner was without a doubt Michelin-worthy. Another dinner the dining room prepared the shrimp that I caught. Nine cabins with an eclectic bunch of people. Just a tremendous experience and one I plan on coming back for.
Thank you Wendy for turning us onto this group, and thank you Marc, Cat and Kate for an exceptional experience.
Great trip. Marc was helpful and patient as we discussed the various options and tweaked the itinerary to get it just right. Both guides were very knowledgeable and made our tours special. We were happy with all the hotels and the level of rooms that was recommended. We would recommend Marc’s company to anyone who is traveling to the Canadian Rockies or elsewhere in Canada.
This was a fantastic trip! I’ve been thinking about seeing polar bears for years and imagined traveling in tundra buggies outside of Churchill looking for bears. Thank goodness I reached out to Marc Telio and his team for their help!
Marc suggested a walking safari at a remote camp. He also helped determine the optimal time and best experience based on our interests. It was amazing! The tour is 6 days—4 days at the camp and one day on either end in Winnipeg. We were surprised by a small gift (cookbook, ornament, candle) in our rooms from Marc’s office. The camp is 60 km north of Churchill, we flew in on an 8-passenger plane and saw a polar bear from the air! The entire time we were at the lodge there were 3 bears around the camp. We had so many opportunities to see them from the lodge, from the viewing decks outside, and walking on the tundra. Equipment was provided and very much appreciated for protecting us from the Arctic winds. We were also lucky enough to see an amazing show of the northern lights.
As we were preparing for our trip, our questions were quickly and accurately answered by Kate on Marc’s team. We appreciated their recommendations and support. We are so thankful to have experienced polar bears in the wild with a small group on foot.
My husband and I traveled with another couple to a remote river lodge, a short plane ride north of Churchill, Manitoba from October 21-27. Marc’s office did a wonderful job. Marc was wonderful in helping us plan the trip and Kate was very helpful in answering every question we had as we prepared to leave. It was a trip of a lifetime! Everything went perfectly. Our two biggest wishes were to see polar bear and the northern lights. We were not disappointed. We had seen the trips that involved the elevated buses and knew we didn’t want that experience. What Marc’s team provided was so much more. We viewed polar bears continuously for four days. The photos we took were incredible. We weren’t promised anything, but what we received was so much more than what we expected. Thank you for an amazing experience!
